Trainees from the Jubilee House of Sports Vityaz boxing club will spend their summer holidays in Shakhter holiday centre in Bunyrevo using travel vouchers from Shchekinoazot. This is the first time children's summer trips have been organised here.

Every year, Shchekinoazot sends its employees' children to health camps. All possible options are studied and travel vouchers are purchased. This year it was decided to organise a children's holiday at the Shakhter holiday centre, which has excellent conditions children's leisure activities. And it turned out that there were even more places available than usual...

This meant that children from Vityaz club in Pervomaisky workers settlement were able join the children of chemists on their holiday.

The company pays for their holiday and allocated about 2.5 million roubles for this purpose.
